The exhibition will run from 16th December 2023 to 14th April 2024 direct from a sold-out season in Paris, attracting visitors from near and far to the heart of Melbourne for this immersive exhibition.

The iconic story of the Titanic and its ill-fated maiden voyage has continued to captivate, educate and break hearts in the 111 years since it sank to the bottom of the ocean.

The exhibition will feature meticulously recreated ship interiors including the Grand Staircase, First Class Parlor Suite and Verandah Cafe to give visitors an insight into the grandeur of the world’s greatest ocean liner in 1912.

Visitors to the exhibition will receive a boarding pass and step on board to connect to the human side of the tragedy through personal stories and possessions of passengers and crew who faced unimaginable circumstances.

New in 2023, the refreshed exhibition will feature a touchable piece of the Titanic hull alongside the vast collection of authentic objects salvaged from the sea floor.

TITANIC: The Artefact Exhibition will also explore the enduring fascination from the media and the public showing how the event has inspired films, books, songs, and artworks that continue to captivate audiences across generations.

The preeminent Titanic exhibition, affiliated with RMS Titanic – the only company permitted by law to recover artefacts from the wreckage – is expected to drive interstate and international visitors to Victoria.

This major exhibition joins Melbourne’s blockbuster summer of events alongside the Australian-exclusive season of Groundhog Day The Musical, NGV Triennial, BBC Earth Experience, the Boxing Day Test and Australian Open.
